DOC Concession Cards

A concession is an official authorisation to operate in an area managed by the Department of Conservation (DOC). A concession is required if an operator wishes to drive, park, or embark/disembark passengers on DOC administered land.

The BCA has negotiated a group concession agreement at a reasonable rate with DOC that enables financial members who sign up to the agreement to purchase identification cards to conduct business activities on DOC administered land. The BCA/DOC concession also includes a limited number of reporting requirements and lists certain sites that are specifically outside the scope of the concession.

This information sheet answers key questions surrounding the concession, and details the processes involved in becoming a party to the concession as well as the rights and obligations of members who wish to operate under it.
